"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade
winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

— Mark Twain

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding
danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life
is either a daring adventure or nothing."

— Helen Keller

"Thanks for all you do to make Bare Buns safe and fun!"

— John and Brenda Wright, Bowling Green, VA

Security & Privacy Statement

We take your right to privacy very seriously. When you visit
our web site, we don't gather any information about you.

Certainly, visiting a nudist club for your first time, to paraphrase
Helen Keller, will be a daring adventure. But if you're like everyone
else (and we bet you are), it's an adventure you'll be thankful you dared
to explore. Most people's only regret is that they waited so long
to discover the sense of self-acceptance and freedom that comes with
clothes-free recreation.

There have been times when people have said to us, "I don't want
people to know who I am when I visit your club for my first time.
Respect my privacy. Let me check you out without identifying myself."

A few nudist clubs actually do let visitors attend anonymously for
their first visit. In our opinion, that is a reckless mistake.
Letting people visit without identifying themselves is encouraging to the
kind of people who we don't want in our club.

Part of the appeal of becoming a nudist, is being able to let down
your guard, shed your defenses, relax, and allow yourself to be vulnerable
at a place where that's a safe thing to do. But we think it's our
responsibility to exclude people who might want to take advantage of your
vulnerability.

You aren't expected to give personal information to people you meet
at our activities, but for the safety and well-being of all the other people
who have placed their trust in us, our management must have on record,
at a minimum, your name and address. And it would be unprofessional,
foolish and perhaps even illegal for us to only require identification
of the people we're unsure of. We treat everybody equally, and we
try to get to know them all.

We have worked very hard to create an environment that feels particularly
safe and comfortable for families, couples and singles, especially women.
An important ingredient in providing that comfort level, is the caution
that we exercise about who is allowed to attend. We'd risk
destroying that feeling of safety, if we were to accept those people who
think that concealing their own identity is more important than the safety
concerns of our other guests.

We take your right to privacy very seriously. When you
visit our web site, we don't gather any information about you.

However, it's important for you to know that when you go with us
to visit another club, park, boat, cruise ship, host, resort or other
activity, we are sometimes required to give the names and addresses
of everyone in our group to our hosts.

Also, it's possible that in deciding whether or not we want to extend
an invitation to you, we might share your name and other information with
another nudist organization to learn what their experience with you has
been. We have an informal reciprocity arrangement with most of the
other legitimate Nudist / Naturist clubs around.

If you request our club information and you are NOT in the geographical
location from which we typically draw attendees,
we'll forward your information to the American Association for Nude Recreation.
They'll send our club's information to you, along with info on other clubs
closer to your home.

Our marketing region includes
the south central and southeastern portions of Pennsylvania, southern New
Jersey, all of Delaware, most of Maryland, the District of Columbia, and
the northeastern two-thirds of the great Commonwealth of Virginia.

Also, if you're foolish enough to do anything unlawful, especially
with regard to our children, we will immediately
and without hesitation turn your personal information over to law enforcement
authorities. If you want to harm or take advantage of anyone, be
forewarned that this is not a safe place for you.
